Have you ever wondered about the mysteries of the cataloging universe? Take a trip through the basics and beyond, exploring the history, development, philosophy, and conceptual models of Resource Description and Access (RDA), the current cataloging standard. We will take a tour of the RDA Toolkit and have the chance to work on some exercises to familiarize ourselves with the material.
Audience: Staff responsible for or interested in original cataloging, or description of resources in general. Some familiarity with cataloging concepts will help with understanding, but no experience is required.
Prerequisites: none
Presenter: Lizzy Baus, Macalester College
